But if someone is so pro-Disney they can't utter a single negative about the product, they no longer can contribute meaningfully to discussion forums.
I love ice cream, but I can acknowledge that people with milk allergies and lactose intolerance can't enjoy it like I do. Or sensitivity to cold. Or. Or.
Disney "lobbyists" (love that) just keep trying to shove square pegs into round holes because to admit it isn't for everyone could risk them losing out on compensation.
Allow me to elaborate on your example, for those that say that this kind of thing doesn't happen here.
Person A:"My store stopped selling chocolate ice cream.I tried vanilla ice cream for the first time this week. I didn't like it. I like chocolate better, it is what I'm used to."
Person B: "Well, obviously, you didn't experience that ice cream to its full potential. Vanilla ice cream is wonderful, and I'm so glad they made the change, as it is so much better for my family. If you just give it another chance, you'll see how wonderful it is, and you won't miss chocolate at all."
Person A: "But, I don't want to try the vanilla again. I know I don't like it. I'd like my chocolate back."
Person B: "Now you are just being ignorant, vanilla ice cream is obviously so much better and recent media reports confirm that people are eating more vanilla ice cream than ever before, so obviously you are in a minority, and are just bitter. Vanilla ice cream is here to stay, and I LOVE IT! Yay vanilla! Give me more!"
Person A: "Hey, I'm just saying I don't like it. It's just my opinion. I think I may stop buying ice cream and switch to popsicles, because they are close to one another, and a better value for my money."
Person B: "Well, then GOOD! Stop going to the store for ice cream then! More ice cream for me and my family then! Team Vanilla 4 LIFE! Yay vanilla! Yay ice cream! Have fun with your far inferior popsicles! We'll be here, enjoying this magical ice cream sprinkled with pixie dust."
